Thats a key point i feel. If it was in trouble or had been rejected ashley or barnes wouldve said something, leaked something. Something that would further their own interests. Agreed. Combined with the fact that bishop would feel he would have to release something. From all accounts (well, journos who know him) he isnt smart enough to think saying nothing would be a possible strategy in the event of it folding. He would need to be seen to be doing something, to show he was earning his pennies.

Luke Edwards writing bullshit again is he? What is Cosplay Lee Ryder saying now?

bruce is a snidey two faced arselicker who says whatever he thinks the rank and file RTG-alikes of a club want to hear. I'm not sorry, I put a lot of stock into a person as well as how they perform at their jobs. It's the reason I can't enjoy the work of several artists (musical/comedy etc) and if they are not decent people I cannot wish them well as that would make me a tad hypocritical. Doesnt matter if they are the best in the world at what they do. Now, bruce has shown himself to be a dishonourable prick time and again so let's now look at his record. It's not worthy of our club. Like, our real club, not this meandering battery cash cow that ashley has reduced it to. You could swap him with likely anyone in the lower leagues and they'd maybe do as well with a Rafa drilled team and a bit of luck. I want every pundit to be openly questioned when they appear on our matches and say how much they would luuuuuurve bruce to come and manage their precious teams. It would be fun to watch them squirm or completely u-turn in their opinion while humming and harring. Wankers. In short, bruce is a shit manager and a disingenuous slimebag who says whatever his current audience wants to hear. He's not paedew yet, but he is level with mcclaren in my eyes, another page of shame in the recent history of NUFC.

Yeah, that becomes the dress code and I'm handing my T shirt back

Wait until you see this one for the next four months. As a representative of the "Manorparkians Group" I can tell you that you will not be seeing this Thread Title (unchanged) for the next four months. In fact I can formally announce that Takeover Day WILL BE on Monday 27th July 2020. (Remember, you read it here first . . ) Ah sod it, I need some positive thoughts about the club right now. Hand me the M.W.O t shirt, I'll join up.

Seems logical. I like this train of thought but it's bloody frustrating in the meantime. But if you're right then it would make sense to announce it like you've described for maximum impact. The only downside I see to this is it would involve players and, worse, their agents so more potential for leaks. I can imagine the parasitic agent types blabbing on any enquiries about their players to get the best deals for them elsewhere. I doubt very much you can make someone sign an NDA for just asking them a question about availability, although as always I am open to be educated by the more knowledgeable business types on here.

Was thinking exactly this Just came up on the news as I was reading/typing on here. I absolutely abhor the thought of proper journalists who try to uncover corruption getting murdered. Reminds me of the Panama Papers story which has lost traction after that journalist got killed.

This is how much I am out of the loop and just not caring about football under ashley. I didnt even realise Pochettino was no longer Spurs manager until last night when I saw a Mourinho interview.

Some Scottish MP trying his best to scupper the deal.

I tend to not visit here of a weekend so might have missed it (i did have a quick scan of the last few pages to no avail) but did I see a tweet or something that said that the PL had the wrong email address which caused a further hold up?

Same time, but a Monday afternoon. After that passes, I write the week off for a takeover announcement. Still leaves loads of space for new letters/allegations/other bullshit to suddenly come to the PL's attention.

Reg Presley is such a shit name. It sounds like a bloke who collects bottles to take back to the shop for a 5p refund even though that hasnt been a thing for 40 years.

♫ ♬ I feel it in my fingers... Fun fact (or not). The song that replaced that wet wet wet song after shitloads of weeks at number 1 was take that with back for good. The underlying chords are exactly the same. Not saying Barlow is a copying cunt but...... Fuck it, the thread is due for another derailing. I do not believe that the charts were real. A song could maybe be top of the charts two, maybe three weeks max. My reasoning is thus; if a song is SOOOOOO popular then everybody would want to go buy it in the first week. Anyone missed would hear it being played on radio stations, TV, bars etc in the next week and but it. The stragglers would scoop the rest up in week three. After that, everyone who wanted it (in great numbers) would have already bought it. Plus, there is the oversaturation effect. Metro for example would play the same five songs every hour (exaggerations but you get my drift) to the point where even the most die hard fans would be sick of it. Over 10 weeks? I don't care how good anyone thinks wet wet wet and Bryan Adams are, they aint that good.

imagine charners having to crawl out into the daylight and do a professional communications job after all this time man Would be something to behold. This is fucking uncanny. I was reading through this post and Colin Robinson jumped into my mind. Then you posted this. Brilliant!

My local has one of them hilarious signs that says "free beer tomorrow". That's pretty much my prediction for the takeover.

What game on Wednesday? Sorry Sheff Utd. Bit nuts I know, reckons the it kosher though After your last prediction about 6 or 7 weeks ago I'm treating this information a bit cautiously Nah, last info was from immediate family who had first hand info from a good mate who’s dad is stadium manager at NUFC who’d had a call from Llambias to say it’d been done. I can absolutely vouch for that, this info is from a bloke I know who doesn’t usually say anything and came out with this today. Eddie Rutherford is the stadium manager and my step son is mates with his son. Guess it’s ok to say this know as that was weeks ago. It’s all changed since then. What year do you think it is?

pardew arselicker. He can fuck right off. Same basket as wise, rio ferdinand etc for me just with a lower profile. For sure we have signed worse but it's not about his talent as a player, it's about his love of that disgraceful stain on our managerial history. Glad to see the back of him.

Asking more questions about the piracy ffs. What more can the buyers possibly answer with? What more could they want since theyve been sitting on this for months? "Here Amanda, we are going to stamp on your foot and jizz in your eye. Could you say 'Arrrrrr' for me? Yes, it's totally part of the test."

BeIn Sports (Qatar) own the rights to the PL in the Middle East. As part of an economic blockade of Qatar, Saudi Arabia banned broadcasts from Qatar into Saudi Arabia A TV station was set up, called BeOut Sports, that appeared to pirate BeIn’s PL broadcasts via a communications satellite provider ArabSat, broadcasting these into Saudi Arabia and beyond (including France) At issue is whether PIF (buying NUFC) is connected to BeOut and/or ArabSat. And how closely connected. And whether the fact the broadcasts have stopped matter. And lots of attendant issues. There’s a post a few pages back from someone called “Football Laws” that is quite thorough... Perfect summary, thank you.

This piracy thing that seems to be the main excuse for holding the deal up; what exactly is the issue?

Did this redditor explain why it will be "many more weeks"? Anything specific jump out at you?

Dude, they show DRONES on this thing!!!

Never heard of it, just watched a clip, isn't it Mornington Crescent? I'm sorry, I haven't a clue

Do we reckon the media will start will the 'takeover expected to be announced next week' stories/tweets today or will they wait until tomorrow?
